This book is about werewolves, and romance in the viking era - and I enjoyed it. Would I have picked it up (or bought it in e-book form) on my own. I honestly don't know. So Continue Reading

The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker - Leanna Renee Hieber August 25, 2009 Paperback, 320 pages Leisure Books Leanna Renee Hieber and I have something in common - a love for the smexy Alan Rickman. I have a picture of him here on my blog, as one of my smexy men, and when she saw it, she knew this book was for me. She emailed me and said the hero of her book, Alexi Rychman, is intentionally Rickman-esque, she even dedicated the book to him. Of course, this excited me greatly - Continue Reading
